    I’m glad I found your channel. I played trumpet in marching band. Haven’t picked up the horn since 1982. It’s like totally starting all over again. Your videos have been a great help. Thank you.

    A short meditation before the start of the show helps a bit for me. Thanks for the tips!

    "Meat Reeds." I love it. Thanks for the tips ,as I occasionally drop a Clam or two at the most crucial moments. A psychological tip I use that helps is a 3 point focal group: One is look at an object that's relatively close, next notice something in your peripheral vision and thirdly, focus on a body part, ie. your knee or foot. I find it helps to shift your mind and lets the muscle memory do it's thing.

      Great tip, Tony! My friend Augie Haas is a great lead trumpeter, and he often talks about looking down while playing high notes to make it feel like it isn’t a big deal.

    Great video. I've also found the exercises in John Daniel's book "Special Studies for Trumpet" to be quite helpful in developing the embouchure.

    Vibration (of the lips) is greater FREQUENCY for higher tones, not "speed", not "faster".
    " speed" is distance/time. Vibration is cycles/time. Understand?
    Relaxed lips play very low tones. Higher pitches do require more effort from the muscles around the lip embouchure. One can certainly improve strength AND efficiency of effort with practice but uh , no, there is no such thing as "relaxed" playing. Especially high and loud tones.
    I do play low soft tones to begin every day. Congratulations on playing the pedal resonance (first harmonic) on your pedal example. I begin with that daily.
